Pitt's Stebbins Cuts Through Tackle For Gain Against Fordham Kopesak's Field Goal Beats Irish Penalty Nullifies Goldberg's Score By CHESTER L. SMITH, Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 16 For another year, at least, the "pointless" football feud between Pitt and Fordham must continue. The Panthers and Rams played another tie with no score at the Polo Grounds this afternoon the third season in succession that neither has been able to prod, probe or punch a path to the other's goal line and tonight historians were dig By LESTER BIEDERMAN Glory, great chunks of it, came tumbling down around the brawny shoulders of Carnegie Tech's gallant football team yesterday on the green-covered turf of the Stadium, as the inspired Tartans, encompassing all that had gone before this season, achieved one of the prize upsets of the year by downing Notre Dame's previously undefeated gridders, 9 to 7.

The embattled Plaid sent a crowd of 45,000 fans into hysterics several times with matchless goal line stands as the Irish-quick to take the breaks, but slow ging into the archives to learn if What! Again! there ever had been another series quite like this one. They didn't expect to find a similar incident in all the annals of football. Today, however, as they were not in 1935 and 1936, the Panthers were decidedly the stronger of the two, and they had to go through the harrowing experience of scoring a touchdown in the second quarter, only to have it taken away, when to capitalize on them, were thrust back three times within the very shadows of the goal posts. The Carnegies collared the first touchdown in the second period but Hoot! Mon! And How!

And the Tartans accepted it, gladly A 17-yard placement with Coleman Kopcsak on the business end, resulted and that was the ball game. There were thrills galore, enough for several games. Page of Pictures on Page The touchdowns were swell piece." of work, but those who like and appreciate their football never wil1 forget the husky Tartans as the rose up and smacked down thf Irish, once on the three, and twice on the one-foot line and two more on the one-foot line to prevent touchdowns.

The teams changed sides for the second quarter and Tech moved into action. The ball rested on the Tartan 40 and on the very first play, Condit dropped back, arched a high pass to Matelan, who was running swiftly to his left and covered by two Notre Dame players. Matelan caught the ball on the Irish 42, and swung downfield. Puplis, chasing Jeny, finally brought him down on the Irish two-yard stripe, a gain of 58 yards on the play. Notre Dame quickly called time out to gather its forces.

But rhen play was resumed. Fullback Leo Napotnik burst through the Notre Dame left tackle for the touchdown. Condit's try for the ektra point hit the uprights and bounded back into the field. Notre Dame threatened several times after this misfortune, but on each occasion, the Techs refused to budge, when it meant a touchdown.

Never That Close! Pitt had neither the time nor the equipment to make up the distance lost on the penalty. Indeed, she may not have had the heart, either, for it was apparent the team was shaken with disappointment. The ball was the Panther's on the six-yard1 line when the intermission came a few seconds later, and the Gold and Blue was never as close again.

"From beginning to end, the Panthers were superior, but eight fumbles, none of which they were able to recover, provided the Rams with one opportunity after another and cut ahort every rally of promise. Five of these miscues were by Curly Stebbins, who played 59 minutes of the game; two were by Goldberg pnd Johnny Urban added another that was as costly as any.
